ASSESSMENT OF INFLUENCE OF HUMAN CAPITAL QUALITY ON THE INNOVATIVE DEVELOPMENT OF THE TERRITORY

Nowadays the prospects for the socio-economic development of territories are largely determined by the level of innovation development, which is based on the use of high technology and information technology, intellectual resources, factors of production. Human capital is becoming one of the major resources for the innovation development. This paper observes and predicts the territory innovative development relying on the econometric modelling and on the correlation and regression analysis, depending on the parameters that determine the quality of human capital. A new interpretation of "human capital" category was suggested and its structure, features and form factors were considered. There were singled out the unique properties of this category including such the characteristic of capacity with respect to the knowledge, intelligence, information, mobility, innovation, creativity, self-learning, etc., which determine the ability of a person to perceive and create innovations. There was developed the model of innovative advance of the territory on the basis of the indicators which characterize the ability of the region economy to reproduce innovation: the efficiency of the research and educational spheres, the population cultural and moral potential, the efficiency of the public health system.
